More Banjo - Packers vs Buccaneers

It's apparently even worse than it seems...

That is super depressing.

MLF blamed ‘communication’ a half dozen times in the presser today.

Does Joe know where MLF hid bodies or have incriminating evidence. I’ve never had a boss standup for me like MLF does for Joey.

There were times when miscommunication was happening and it cost them. I still think it was a bad game plan and TB basically ran zone-beaters all day.
Stokes and Valentine with Ford and Owens aren't a scary group to throw against, and Devondre has lost a step. Nixon is a good KR, but iffy as a PR and slot corner.

Didn't Kenny have 2 sacks? I'm surprised he didn't crack the top 5. Also thought Tucker Kraft had a since day. Wicks was a stud playing like that on a bad ankle.
Walker has improved, but I'm not seeing elite play like PFF is scoring.

Before you start typing a reply, Tex, this is bona fide
sarcasm.

Ole Fritz hates Barry more than he hates Harbaugh for turning his and Bob McGinn’s beloved U of Michigan into a cheating factory.

Almost. Harbaugh’s a self-righteous hypocrite and a jackass to boot; Joe Barely seems a decent guy, but a crummy coach.

Harbaugh in my opinion deserves contempt. Joe just needs to be fired.

By the way, that Onion headline about the Webb telescope was hilarious.

This doesn't sound great.

Not going out my way anymore and I’m not playing through injuries anymore cause when shit goes wrong they always use it against you. I’m treating everyone accordingly and giving them the same energy they giving me. Focus on yourself and your mental 59 you owe it to yourself ������������

Is this directed at us, the fans squawking and bitching, or the coaches, or both, or nobody knows?

I suppose it's not good, any which way.

That seems to me to suggest that next year we will be posting about De'Vondre in the Former Packers still pursuing the Dream thread.

Could be media. Been a lot of criticism of his play Sunday. Could be coaches. I hope he's not getting worked up about what fans are saying on twitter. Gotta be able to ignore that stuff.

Sounds like coaches. Barry has the heat on him. I could see him getting impatient and coming down on guys even though injuries are understandable reasons to not play 100.

Devondre did not have a good game, but I also think he was sometimes hung out to dry.
He looks a step slow this year and his tackling isn't what it was, which I've attributed to age and injuries. Perhaps injuries are playing a bigger role.

All the same, he was supposed to be a competent LB in coverage and he looked bad vs. Tampa. I suspect the defense got a dressing down and didn't like it, especially given some of the calls. They didn't defend well when Tb went shotgun-empty and the ILBs were supposed to cover Chris Godwin. That's a mismatch. It's one thing to challenge your players to rise to an occasion, it's another thing to set them up for failure. I'm not sure Barry knows the difference.

The twitterverse is treating the tweet as if the remark pointed internally, not at random fans or posters. I think it's just venting and it's better to keep it private, but he made it vague enough to not make a big deal of it.

He might be a former Packer, based on salary, age, injuries, and performance. I do think they need some kind of upgrade at LB to help with the run defense.

[RashanGary]

He does some media stuff with the local sports radio and probably communicates with other media members. It could be media too. A lot of them were harsh of him and maybe he feels like they act friends to his face, but shit in him as soon as they can.

[Sparkey]

I'd be pissed if I played ILB, my 4.58 40 times was 5 years behind me and my D Coordinator decided that me covering Godwin was a good plan....

Give me a RB or TE, no problem, but a wr that runs a 4.42 ? What !?!?

[run pMc]

Yeah, let's say TB has 11 personnel, so Barry is going to roll out nickel. They are playing Cover-2 or quarters with safeties verrrry far back because they are backups and Barry is a coward.

Then you rush 4, so that gives you 5 players to cover the rest of the field. TB motions Racheed White (a good receiving back) out and now you have empty set, Baker in the shotgun, and it's basically 5 players likely in a zone who have 5 receivers going out in patterns. That's tough to defend.
Basically they're playing prevent defense.

Devondre did not have a great game and he may be hurt (in Week 15, who isn't) or he may be old or - more likely - both. If he's grumpy, so what. He probably has reasons.

[bobblehead]

Not saying, guarantee Williams the DC gig for next season. Just saying, give the man a shot in the last 3 games. There’s no point in keeping Barry around anymore since he’s all but Pettined (allow to walk with an expiring contract). Perhaps Williams will call an exotic blitz, something Barry never does.

In the event that Williams pans out and eventually lands a head coaching gig, the Packers will get a 3rd rounder. Hell, the 69ers have received a tons of 3rds for grooming a tons of “minority” head coaches - even got one for Mike McDaniel.

The Packers owe it to the City of Green Bay to be on Hard Knocks. The city paid for the Lambeau renovation. Hard Knocks would provide a bit of a short-term economic boom for the city.

Wow, that was a good post. Without most of your usual stuff. And not just the usual reasons I like a post by you (they make me chuckle). Although the Mike McDaniel comment did make me chuckle.

#Packers had their defensive meeting this morning with Joe Barry. His message to the defense, according to Eric Stokes: “All the explosive plays, that shit will get you fired”

Had to fix that for Mr. Barry.
